You may not want it. But then again if you do it's okay to have a bite. Don't over indulge. Live like you would but healthier. We as humans can't deprive ourselves or this thing will not work. I'm 8 months post op. I got my first goal. I surpassed that goal actually. I'm 105 pounds down. I'm saying that because I have had a couple of sweets along the way. Good luck to you and your journey!

I am definitely not 100%!! I just went through a bowel impaction that I had to remove myself. I've been nauseous everyday since the surgery and hospitalized 1 time. I went to the ER earlier this week to find out I have a full colon and a UTI. I also got 2 liters of fluids at that time. I was 3 months post op on the 22nd.

I understand your frustration! My surgeon quit 2 weeks before my surgery!! I had to find a new surgeon at a different hospital that would take my entire workup and get the surgery before the 1st of January due to insurance resetting. I did find 1 and he did my surgery the same week that I was supposed to get it done in the 1st place. Sometimes things get in the way and throw you on your butt but get up and continue to work hard for what you have been waiting for! I hope it all works out the way it should for you!!

I think we use social media to make ourselves feel better when we have people praising us. After I stopped posting on there I now have family and friends asking how I'm doing. I've lost 50 pounds (as of today) and that's my 1st goal! I guess it's the fact that my family really thought this would be a cake walk for me. I've been in the hospital. I've struggled with trying to lose the weight. They actually support me now. I'm surprised. I still don't post about me except a few pics of the kids and I at the beach with my new bikini on!!!

Do you know if my stomach will ever stretch as time goes on? I was sleeved 12/22/2016. Also what do you all do about nausea? I used to turn to pretzels and ginger ale. Any suggestions would be great. Zofran doesn't stick well with me. Thank you! HW 270 SW 253 CW 209 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

Thank you very much! I'm feeling nauseous right now. I think it's the ketosis kicking me down again though. HW 270 SW 253 CW 209 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

That is so awesome! I am very proud of your success! HW 270 SW 253 CW 209 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

Welp, I haven't been on here for a while. I was hospitalized 2 weeks ago for a few days due to dehydration and vitamin deficiency. The nurse tried to put the IV in my right hand and my vein blew due to being so dehydrated. She had to put it in my right wrist. That sucked big time!! I am now 2 months out and still get sick sometimes. I'm trying to get my fluids in more but it's still a challenge. I started eating a protein bar a day to get some variety in my life. I still hate food. Haha I'm happy about my progress though but hate ketosis. I am trying to get more carbs in even though the Dr doesn't want me to do that. I'm just tired of being sick all the time without the carbs. This is not an easy process but I guess that's what makes it worth it. Anyone else going through something like this or any suggestions? Thanks guys! HW 270 SW 253 CW 209 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

That's a good idea with the towel! My Dr said I can have protein bars once a day so I am doing that for 1 of my meals. It's still not easy and I'm 2 months out now. Dehydration is the worst feeling. HW 270 SW 253 CW 209 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

Thank you! I hope your surgery went well!! I stopped posting on FB and other social media sites. My parents are now interested in how I'm doing. LOL!!! I was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago for dehydration and vitamin deficiency. I bounced back though and am doing better. Thank you again for the support!

eggs is my weak point! So is anything Protein shake wise and any flavor in my Water besides strawberry and blueberry infused. I had Brussels Sprouts and homemade chicken noodle Soup today and threw it back up! I've been miserable. Mind you I'm 6 weeks out but I was doing good for a minute. Now I'm just sick again =( HW 270 SW 253 CW 224 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

I have GEHA that is based on UHC. I had my surgery last month. They said they cover skin removal as well! HW 270 SW 253 CW 224 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

I had lettuce earlier this week for the first time when my Dr said I could. It just about killed me! What I do now in order to get my salad in is substitute the lettuce for spinach. It has Protein in it (not much though) and it's very healthy!! HW 270 SW 253 CW 224 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!

I hate it especially if the meat I'm eating is dry!! Ukkkk HW 270 SW 253 CW 224 5'1" tall Sleeved 12/22/2016!
